Available to hire
Hi! I am Queta Davila, I’m a Mexican multidisciplinary artist based in Milan.
I dedicate my life to art, the expression of beauty and pleasure. My work explores the intersection of food, the body, and contemporary aesthetics, expressed through oils, acrylics, watercolors, Photoshop collages, Procreate illustrations, and new explorations in Adobe Illustrator and performance. Currently studying Painting at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, I bring a rich artistic background, a sharp eye for detail, and a playful, vibrant visual language to every project.
